gauge removal

[jason340]

i have a 73 cuda with a rally dash, what all do i need to remove to pull my gauge cluster?

Disconnect the battery. Remove the light bar from underneath the dashpad and flip it on top. You will the see the screws you need to remove to get the gauges out. You need to remove the switch panel before you remove the woodgrain cover on the gauges though. It takes some messaging. Not much fun, but once you get the gauge pod out, you need to reach up under and remove the speedo cable. It is a plastic clip that you need to squeeze to pull off. Then you will see you need to pop the turn signal bulbs out of it, along with the high beam light. After that, it is pulling wires off, then finally unscrewing the two big black and red wires on the amp gauge.
